After Holgun Iron Horn took the folder of the assignment that I gave him and his people, that is pretty much concludes everything that had to be done for the secret side of the war, now everything is already set in place and waited for the motion to start. To be quite honest, I rather quite excited to see everything comes to play right now. For a long time, I have been doing this kind of thing not for myself, but for others, I saw how those that I worked for gained what they wanted for my plans and executions, but never once that I have done everything and the one that would reaping every benefits would be me. Al in all, this very new for me, and I guess I should be the one that is waiting for result now.“I must say, Sir..in all my life serving a ruler, never have I served someone like you…your plans encompassed everything..and covers every things and even things that might have happened in the future…quite careful…but was it always had to be in these detailed?..”.(Alfred Monticello)
In Aeternum New City, the life still goes on as normal, people commute to work and their daily lives,as if nothing major had happened, it is true but at this moment the entire nation were actually waiting for the major decision that would be taking place perhaps today. The debate of whether war or no war, in the Aeternum Cabinet has been getting more and more intense and now that debate that would determine the future of the nation has entered the 3rd day today. And everyone come to a consensus that today will be the final day that this issue will be discussed at the nation highest and most legitimate hall in the entire nation.“Oi, Suchong boy…right here!..”.(Madame Betty)Madam Betty are seated at the many now slowly occupied stone bench, hold up her hand to beckoned the Army Bar owner, to come to their group. Today, a lot of shops in New Cit were closed since it was Sunday, and at the same time it was also the 3rd day of the Cabinet hearing, and thus the Holographic Broadcast Audit
When the clock showed 10 o’clock in the morning, at that time, the Holographic Broadcast were then turned on, grabbing the attention of all Aeternum citizen at all the Holographic Auditorium all over Aeternum. The Holographic Broadcast Auditorium were akin like a community centre at all of Aeternum settlement, be it a village, towns or city. All of these places had them, right now the Holographic entertainment has been frequent and it became many people source of information and entertainment, but since this Auditorium were used for the public, hence it became a public gathering place and a place for community to come together, thus lessen the gap of connection between the authority and the people.“Has it already started?..”.(Winston)“It was about to…the Broadcast is already on…so you got here just in time Winston..”.(Wallace)In Agriculture Region, the Wheat Town, the Town administration hall, which also function as the Holographic Broadcast Auditorium were packed with all the Whe
When most of the Aeternum citizens has already settled in, in front of their own place of Holographic Broadcast, at that moment, finally there were video feeds coming through at all the Auditorium, and the first face that comes out were the one that many has already recognized by now, as the first ever face of Aeternum entertainment industry, it was Quara Raedrim. Today she is reporting live inside a Broadcast booth, inside the Cabinet Hall itself, and right now,the atmosphere inside the Cabinet Hall were filled with tense as many of the Cabinet Members, assistant and attendee made their way to their seat.“[Greetings and good morning Aeternum…I am Quara Raedrim, your presenter for today Aeternum Cabinet Meeting…Today, will possibly a momentous day…perhaps even a historical moment, in the History of our Nation…as today, would be the last day and also the day of the decision…for what has been a 2 long days of intense debate and discussion to determined the path that our nation will be
For every single viewers and listeners, many thought that today would be just the regular ending for the meeting, never once they would thought that the President that is currently known is recovering from his injured would come out and personally joined today’s meeting. This is really a surprising moment, today and just when Quara Raedrim spoke about the president making his appearance, the camera were shooting at the President making his entrance. He is looking fine and mesmerizing as he always does, with his signature black and gold uniform, but today he is using his swords as his cane to walk.The Cabinet hall were in all full attendance at the moment, everyone were already on their seat, and the President and the 5 Minister were the last one to enter. The entire hall were silent still as he walks in, fully dressed and with each steps he takes, the cane knocked on the floor, making a thumping sound that echoes through out the room, as if commanding awe and respect and silence has
After long ceremonial introductions and the rules being presented on the stage, finally the meeting started, well to me right now it was more like a back and forth debate, but in all honesty I kind of feeling it, these cabinet members were really debating everything they got, and little by little the one that were advocating for confirmation first were slowly slowing down and able to see that the war is something that can also bring the compensation to Aeternum as when it is all over we can just take everything that we wanted. If one were to be able to get passed all the flowery words, they can see that the entire time, no one are actually against the war itself.But since no one has yet sees it, many were still on the thinking that there is 2 sides in this debates. To me right now, this meeting is just here for the revelation of Duke Oliver Gust joining Aeternum, but that had to be done in a spectacular moment. Because when, he appeared in this hall, that is basically the end of the
The debate has gotten more and more prolonged by now, as both side just kept on holding on to their point without any of them giving a way to one and another. For me, hearing all this were just enable me to actually witnessed everyone grows mature in their job, and also as I peered into the many reaction from the public, it seems that they all were slowly getting impatient, even so, no one wanted to speaks up and just waited in patient to see what will decision will be. I am rather surprised to see that, Aeternum citizens were actually more docile, calm and patient.“(The people is quite calm…)”.“[They did, but that is the sure way to see that our Mandatory education is working…not only everyone has basic intellect..but their behaviour also shown that they very respect and trust their government…it can be said that, what we are working for are working…]”.(T.A.S)Knowing that my own people have a very high level of trust on me, does make me feel good. Usually such scene is very rare i
When everyone saw, Andrea just stood up and take the stage, no one dared to speak over her at all. Everyone just closed their mouth and stayed silent, then just meekly take their seat, Though Andrea looked just like your average middle aged beauty, carried with her gentle and calming aura. She actually very feared and respected by all. It was appropriate to say that she is the second most powerful woman in Aeternum right behind Elijah, and when I gave her, her own autonomy power, enable her to do whatever she liked, that is when many were always trying to curry favour with her. After all, when it comes to Aeternum riches and resource she is the one that is managing it all. Also when it comes to monetary things, she is a shrewd businesswoman, hence many merchants admire her a lot.She even got a lot suitor lined up for her, although it was known that she is apart of the Royal family. There were some that were still didn’t give up to pursue her, then again affairs business in nobility c
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
